Watch Sister

Madam Bwa has never been formally trained, yet she's delivered over 12,000 babies. She works on filthy floors and in crowded slums, from Ethiopia to Cambodia to Haiti, while her mothers-to-be eat dirt to survive. In this beautiful doc the difficulties of childbirth are laid bare, and the strategies to improve Third World maternal health and mortality rates are explored with an affecting clarity.

Sister is a 2013 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes.
